ONCE ON A TIME


A.A. MILNE



Puffin Books Paperback  202 pages. Illustrated by Susan Perl. Very Good- Spine faded.

 
A topsy-turvy, magical tale of the famous wars between Euralia and Barodia; of magic swords, cloaks of darkness, a prince turned into an animal, true love, and a bad fairy

Written by A. A. Milne, before any of the Winnie-the-Pooh books, during the First World War, his first Children's book.
Written in 1915, for the amusement of himself and his wife at a time 'when life was not very amusing', it is ostensibly a typical fairytale, telling the story of the war between the kingdoms of Euralia and Barodia and the political shenanigans which take place in Euralia in the king's absence, all supposedly rewritten by Milne from the writings of the fictional historian "Roger Scurvilegs".

It has also been described as a book for adults, with satires of the Kaiser, Lloyd George and Asquith.
Always carefully packed and from a non-smoking household.
